  • Publication number: 20240089475
    Abstract: According to an example of the present disclosure, a neural processing unit (NPU) capable of encoding is provided. The NPU comprises one or more processing elements (PEs) which perform operations for a plurality of layers of an artificial neural network and generate a plurality of output feature maps. The NPU also comprises an encoder which encodes at least one particular output feature map among a plurality of output feature maps into a bitstream and then transmits thereof.

  • Patent number: 11893783
    Abstract: A neural processing unit (NPU) for decoding video or feature map is provided. The NPU may comprise at least one processing element (PE) to perform an inference using an artificial neural network. The at least one PE may be configured to receive and decode data included in a bitstream. The data included in the bitstream may comprise data of a base layer. Alternatively, the data included in the bitstream may comprise data of the base layer and data of at least one enhancement layer. The data of the base layer included in the bitstream may include a first feature map. The data of the at least one enhancement layer included in the bitstream may include a second feature map.

  • Publication number: 20230316040
    Abstract: A neural processing unit (NPU) mounted on a movable device for detecting object is provided. The NPU may comprise a plurality of processing elements (PEs), configured to process an operation of a first artificial neural network model (ANN) and an operation of a second ANN different from the first ANN; a memory configured to store a portion of a data of the first ANN and the second ANN; and a controller configured to control the PEs and the memory to selectively perform a convolution operation of the first ANN or the second ANN based on a determination data, wherein the determination data may include an object detection performance data of the first ANN and the second ANN, respectively.
